Sculptris is a 3D-graphics computer software that allows users to sculpt virtual models. It can be just plain fun, but it's also a great way to get rid of stress! If you're having a rotten day, you don't need to have a clay wheel and a ball of clay to throw around... just try unwinding with Sculptris!

Steps

1

Open up Sculptris. For this tutorial, it doesn't matter what you start with. You could start with a sphere or a plane. Just choose whatever you're 'feeling'. There is no way to be 'wrong' here!

2

Start grabbing, flattening, drawing, or whatever suits your purpose. You never know what it will evolve into. Go with the flow – for instance, the shape in this image appears to be growing legs.

3

Try to stay in touch with how you're feeling and allow this to direct the shaping. Or don't even try to work out your mass of feelings, and depending on whatever you need to unwind, just let it work its own way through. You are trying to relax, so give yourself that space to do so any which way.

4

Once you think you have the therapeutic unwinding "design" where you want it, consider painting it.

5

Keep on going. If you do something you don't like, CTRL Z will undo what you have done.

Once it's finished, keep a printed copy of the image for your journal as a visual display of how you felt and approached your feelings for that day.
